Summer break: What should students be doing?

With the end of the academic year approaching, students are talking about their summer plans. Summer is a wonderful time to relax and rejuvenate, but students might not realize it also provides an opportunity to take beneficial steps towards career goals. Whether your son/daughter is a first-year or sophomore who is exploring majors and careers or a junior or senior looking at applying for internships, jobs, graduate schools or volunteer opportunities, the summer is a great time to get ahead in their career.

What can your son/daughter do to move closer to his/her post-graduation plans?

Graduate School - Research programs, find out what exams are required and when to take them, request application materials, connect with faculty who can serve as references or write letters of recommendation, and start the application process
